Jul 11, 2009 Updated: Nov 7, 2009On tap at Rattle ’N’ Hum (NYC): Aroma is like that of coffee and aged wood- which is a little expected (agrd in palo santo wood). Tastes 100% stronger than the aroma it puts off. The alc. content alone makes this ale totally "bomber" worthy. 12% and I can only taste the alcohol only slightly... Okay, more than slightly, but this is still one damn good beer that will fuck with your mind. Rerated on 07112009, DG.

Jul 10, 2009 Original review date March 29, 2008...probably my favorite DFH offering...
Poured from bottle into Cabernet glass...
Big, rye or whole wheat bread-colored head. Oily thick, espresso-colored body. Lacing coats glass nicely
Copious malt and spice (can’t place - a little cinnamon - maybe mild clove or allspice?) with chocolate and caramel overtures with some well-placed yeast
Heavy alcohol and espresso in the forefront with grassy hops (chicory tones) and sweet toasted maly
Very pleasant with deep, sweet alcoholic mouthfeel and finish
Extremely drinkable for style. Amazing stuff that I hope to revisit soon.

Jul 5, 2009 At first smells extremely interesting. Wood, chocolate, coffee. Smooth and slight vinegar taste. The buzz I am getting from this is unusual and will describe it as a woody turpentine. Not something I care for. I imagine if I took a bite out of this Palo Santo wood this is it what would taste like. Wood at the beginning, middle and end. I would like to marinate some meat with this beer though. Far too woody for me.

Jul 5, 2009 Deep brown pour. Although some say they smell the alcohol right away.... I don’t see that. Very sneaky alcohol wise. Very smooth for a strong ale. Not a session beer, but so good. The aroma is really rich.

Jul 3, 2009 I drank this from a bottle in a chalice.
This is dark pouring beer, not a great head or lacing.
It has a great smell of wood, nuts, and chocolate.
Taste of wood, smoke, and vanilla. This is very good beer, probably taken up a notch though because of its lore.

Jul 1, 2009 Pours thick with a near black color, and smallish dark brown head. Not much lace to speak of, but wouldn’t expect too much at 12 abv. smell of brown sugar. Tastes like a stout, with a woody molasses, coffee and chochlote mix. Yummy.
